The 3 major battles of the Civil War were 1. The Gettysburg

2.shiloh 3.Fort Sumter

The answer requires a good deal of subjectivity. Although Fort Sumter was important, it only led to Lincoln calling up 75,000 volunteers to end the Southern "rebellion". To replace Fort Sumter with a third major battle there are a few candidates. The third major battle could be one of these:

First Bull Run, Antietam, Chancellorsville, Siege of Petersburg, Siege of Vicksburg, and Battle of New Orleans. There are others as well, however, Fort Sumter can be removed from the long list.
